There are three pillars that underlie our transcription factor development pipeline. The first pillar is a selection system which lyses cells containing strong matches between a transcription factor and its promoter and allows for the speedy recovery of the relevant DNA. The second pillar is an in vivo characterization system that uses two different reporter systems as a way to document the binding affinities of the TetR transcription factor and its promoter pTet. The third pillar is an in-vitro characterization system called MITOMI that allows for high-throughput analysis of DNA-protein interaction strengths.

Three components constitute our transcription factor development pipeline. The first is a selection system which lyses cells containing strong matches between a mutated transcription factor and its promoter and allows for the speedy recovery of the relevant DNA. The second component is an ''in vivo'' characterization system that uses two different reporter systems as a way to document the binding affinities of the TetR transcription factor and its promoter pTet. The third component is an ''in vitro'' characterization system called MITOMI that allows high-throughput quantitative analysis of DNA-protein interaction strengths.

'''In Vivo Characterization''': We cloned an RFP gene under control of T7 promoter variants (parts BBa_K613001 through BBa_K613012) into a low copy number plasmid (pSB3K1, formerly BBa_I739202). We also cloned TetR mutants (parts BBa_K613013 through BBa_K613019) into a  a low copy number plasmid (pSB3K1, formerly BBa_I739202). Both sets of plasmids were thoroughly characterized using IPTG platereader experiments.
